What We Ought Think OF.

Motion is tie preserver Of health and happiness.
God breathed portion of His activity into every
thing around Him; and are to remain inactive
waiting for something to change our lives, or are
we to help work the change? We have the ac-
tons of noble true men and women for ages past
and where the wrecks of former ones are strewn
along the pathway may learn a useful lesson
Unat is, have learned mine,) while confined here
and thus be enabled when we go from here to pass
over the dangerous places and reach the goal of
good peoples ambition. Each age and gener-
alton imparts some useful lesson; but how many
of us have needed them? New truths glare out as
years roll by but very few of us ever acknowledge
them; we are too sanguine of what we do. 1t can.
not be denied that the most sanguine natures are
often unfortunate. The reason is that they so
frequently risk their hopes upon the good fortune
which they believe is in store for them, rather
than upon wise plans, patient endurance and
earnest labor. So now will say to the men here,
when you have leisure think OF these things. for
some day they may become useful. Who can tell?

Did it ever occur to you that an important ele-
ment in our education is to learn how to make mis-
takes and not be crushed by them? WE'LL it is
fact. The efficiency of many persons who a
power for good in any community is greatly
duced by their great dread of making mistakes,
while perhaps the influence that many others
might exert is thus WIDELY handicapped We are
all human and liable to err and not only so. but
so long are human it is inevitable that we
should make mistakes in our judgements and blum
ders in our actions. But the positive characters,
the persons of great personal force and influence,
never let these embarrass them or check their on
ward movement to the final contamination of their
purpose. We are often too apt to think. that the
great masters in any department in life were born
such. They were not in the vast majority of cases
Rather they have struggled up to their present
commanding position through multitude of mis-
takes and, in not few cases. dismal failures.
1t has been process of education with them.
Mistakes and failures have taught them to avoid
dangers and surmount difficulties in the future
Do not remain inactive from fear of making mis-
takes Choose worthy work, believe in it with all
your SOUL and labor to live through inevitable
checks and hinderances true to the highest ideal
of life Observation-Disclosures.

The Man who Knows Everything.

Editor Mirror:
If the genuine wisdom in the world was divided
up, the average per man would be scarcely enough
to keep anybody from walking into ditch by day
light; and yet it is very hard to find village. or
shop or office, that does not contain man who
knows it all-or thinks he dOes-yes. even at our
boarding house. he is we'll represented. Tramps are
disgusting thieves are bad and liars are worse;
but the man that knows it all is worse than
tramps, thieves and liars combined, for he has
such a taking way with him that nobody suspects
him. until he has done more mischief than hun
dred men can repair. No matter what men
around him may be talking about, he puts in his
word, and does it with so much earnestness that
everybody supposes he means all he says. Per-
haps he does, but if so, he should not be allowed
to go at large while lunatic asylums are numerous
He knows just what everybody should do; tell him
you are sick. and he will tell you just what medicine
to take. Perhaps his prescription will kill you
but in that case he suddenly discovers that you
had to die anyhow. If you work in the same shop
with him, You will hear something new every day;
what the manager means to do. but if you shape
your own plans accordingly. you are likely to end
in being the most surprised man in the establish.
ment-and the maddest, too. He seems at first so
much of fellow, that his employers, or officers,
act upon his advice and secure him good posi-
ton, but before they get done with him they will
lose more faith in human nature than they can
get back again. Next to lunatic asylum, the
proper place for him is beside the stove in a
tramp's lodging house, where nothing he says can
make his hearers worse off than they already are.
If his clothes good that tramps won't be-
1ieve him. he ought to be put to work in the office
of some newspaper that dosen't care what it
prints. There. sooner or later, some slandered
person will break club over his head or give him
a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS attentions which his
customary victims are too good-natured to bestow.
The first being of his kind was discovered in the
Garden Of Eden. and he succeeded in having the
original inhabitants turned out. This creed
hasn't improved a particle since then, as every
one who listens to him will discover to their sor-
row. G. NJ.

Life on a Fossil Continent.

If an intelligent Australian colonisi
were suddenly TO be translated back
ward from Collins stree., Melbourne.
into tho fourishing woods of the
secondary geological period-say about
the precise moment of time when the
English chalk downs were slowly nc.
cumulating, speck by speck, on the
silent floor OF some long-forgottea
Mediterranean-the intelligent colon
list would look around him with q sweet
smlle OF cheerful recognition, and say
70 himself IN some surprise, "Why,
this Is just like Australia" The ami.
mails, the trees the plants. the insects
would all more or less wildly remind
HIM OF those he had left behind him in
his happy home of the Southern seas
and the nineteenth century. The sun
would have moved back on the dial of
ages Tor few million summers or so.
indefinitely Tin geology we refuse to 10
bound by dates), and would have land
ed him at last, to his immense aston
ishment, pretty much at the exact
point whence he first started.
In other words, with a few needful
qualifications, to be made hereafter.
Australia is, so to speak, fossil con-
tinent, country still in its secondary
age, n surviving fragment of the print
tive world of the chalk period or
earlier ages. Isolated from all the re-
mainder of the earth about the Begin
ming of the tertiary epoch, long before
the mammoth and the mastodon had
yet dreamed of appearing upon the
stage OF existence, long before the first
shadowy ancestor of the horse had
turned tail on natures rough draft of
the still undeveloped and unspecialized
lion, long before the extinct dinotheri-
ums and gigantic Irish elks and colos-
sal RIrafies OF late tertiary times had
even begun to run their races on tho
broad plains Of Europe and America
the Australian continent found itself
at an early period OF its development
cut off entirely from al social inter.
course with the remainder OF our
planet, and turned upon itself, like the
German philosopher, to evolve its own
plants and animals out of its own inner
consciousness. The natural conse-
quence was that progress in Australia
has been absurdly slow, and that the
country, as whole, has fallen most
wofully behind the timeg in all mat
tiers pertaining to tho existence of life
upon it's surface. Everybody knows
that Australia, as whole. is very
peculiar and original continent; its
peculiarly, however, consists, mt bot
tom, for the most part, in the fact that
1T still remains at very nearly the same
early point of development which
Europe had attained couple of mil.
lion years ago or thereabout. "Ad-
vance, Australia" says the national
motto; and, indeed, it is quite time
nowadays that Australia should adj
vance, for so far she has been left out
of the running for some four mundane
ages or so at rough computation.
